KATRINA: SHOOTOUT ON DANZIGER BRIDGE

It's outrageous that there are idiots shooting at contractors trying to repair structural damage in New Orleans. Thank God the police are fighting back. (Question, though: Shouldn't the contractors be under military escort?) Via Breitbart.com:

Gunmen Attack Contractors on La. Bridge

Police shot and killed at least five people Sunday after gunmen opened fire on a group of contractors traveling across a bridge on their way to make repairs, authorities said.

Deputy Police Chief W.J. Riley said police shot at eight people carrying guns, killing five or six.

Fourteen contractors were traveling across the Danziger Bridge under police escort when they came under fire, said John Hall, a spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers.

They were on their way to launch barges into Lake Pontchartrain to help plug the breach in the 17th Street Canal, Hall said.

None of the contractors was killed, Hall said.
